Egyptian street food made with dried
fava beans some say it's the precursor
to Phil effing it's a de familia we're
here at supe an Egyptian street food
chain that's bringing traditional dishes
like Tamia to new york city
joining me today is cream Jovi on a
youtuber and egyptian-american sometimes

gonna be amazing because when you have
that the right flavors and the right
ingredients you're gonna have a nice eh
when you think to different Street food
you're gonna think you're foolin Tommy
they're both made with the same fava
bean raw and raw material ingredients
and they really constitute the everyday
meal of every Egyptian familia is a
beloved Egyptian staple that is thought
to date back to ancient Egypt and Coptic
Christians are forbidden from eating
meat during Lent and other holidays to
make up for the hardiness of meat they
came up with a dish made of fava beans a
legume high in protein and called it
familia although the origins of the dish
remain contentious many historians name
Egypt is a birthplace of the street food
staple because traces of fava beans are
said to have been found in ancient
Egyptian tombs after the dish spread
throughout the Middle East
historians say some countries replace
the fava beans with chickpeas and called
it falafel Khalifa says you can dig of
dharmaiah and falafel as close cousins
Egyptians are very proud of the idea of
timaya being authentically Egyptian and
we thought a lot about do we try to do
we call it Egyptian FULFILLER do we call
it Tamiya we were never gonna call it
Egyptian - to make it easier for people
to comprehend
timaya and full are very unique to egypt
in the way that they're made and as a
result of their affordability over time
have become part of every Egyptian
everyday existence it's really part of
the culture that I think brings the
whole country together to see just how
dot Maya is made
Karim and I step behind the counter at
Zuba with their head chef Ahmed hi desi

I've never made Tommy in my life and I'm
Egyptian so that that's already a bad
thing so I need to learn today all right
